Sf doesn’t have a gang violence issue. It’s non violent crime and general pedestrian unfriendliness.
You won’t get stabbed walking on 6th st, but I know plenty who had a homeless in SF hit them with chicken, hit with food trays, chased, yelled, needles thrown, etc.
Petty theft is also generally never reported. What the heck are the pd going to do about your stolen iPhone. Why are you going to file a report when there’s no outcome.
The SF metreon target 10 years ago didn’t need things locked up. Now they lock up much. The only explanation I have for why retail in SF has recently started really going overboard on shoplift preventing is that shoplifting has gotten worse.
